Learn how to raise pigs

Food journalist Barry Estabrook and Niman Ranch Pork Company founder Paul Willis will lead a farmer-training workshop on Thursday, March 10, at Glynwood Farm in Cold Spring on raising pigs humanely. The day begins with indoor presentations and moves outside in the afternoon, weather permitting, to spend the afternoon with some porcine friends.

Estabrook is the author of Pig Tales: An Omnivore’s Quest for Sustainable Meat. Willis has owned and operated the Willis Free Range Pig Farm in Iowa since 1975.
